Ontario Friends


So this is what they do for fun in Ontario. When it gets down to about 5 degrees you get in the hot tub at 10 o'clock at night. On weekends you go to the fair and stick your head through silly pictures to really look goofy. Either way it was fun. The same girl in both photos is Darlene. She's a friend of Warren's who is becoming a good friend of mine. Apparently she was having Roe withdrawals when I went to Montreal this week. But then my Montreal friends were able to satisfy their Roe fix. For whatever reason i seem to connect better with Canadians than I do with Aussies, or maybe its just that I'm different so people are more willing to open up. I dont know but I love having all these friends and they're good friends, not just people you hang out with from time to time. It makes missing my friends back home not so bad.

Real Pumpkins



It will be my first real Halloween too. Warren said we'd better get some candy - I reminded him that it wont last at our house if we get it now. So October 30th will have to be our candy buying day.

Just hangin' around




This is a snowmobile bridge. You can go for a few hundred kilometres on the snowmobile path. . .with a snowmobile that is. . .in the winter. I'd like to try it sometime.
What's this funny looking bin you might ask? Yes - it's a bear proof bin. They like raiding the bins of food, but everywhere has bear proof bins now, so they dont hang around. I'd still like to see one though. . . from a distance.
The huge rocks behind me are the the Information centre at French River. its a cool little museum with really nice staff who were very helpful.
Snakes alive



Fortunately it wasn't a rattler which are the ones you have to be careful of. They say Australia has lots of deadly things, funnel web spiders, deadly snakes, but really - while walking we had to be careful of bears, rattle snakes, moose and the occasional hunter with a rifle.
I guess Canada is just as deadly!
Along the way



We had 4 days there altough 2 of them were mostly spent driving. Still - it was a wonderful experience and Warren & his family do this every year.
Boating


They said they throw them back but that's only after the put a bloody great hook through its mouth or side. So hence I was banned from fishing! Next day they caught some without me.
Oddly enough they bought a new bait bucket & the same thing happened to the 2nd batch of live fish. Honest I didnt touch it!!! The universe does work in mysterious ways.
P.S I'm not a vegetarian or anything - I eat fish but only when they're on my plate, I dont like hurting the little guys by fishing as a sport.

The cottage



Northern Ontario is just beautiful and when I get my career up & running and start earning some real money, buying a cottage on a lake or river like this one will be high on the list of priorities.
But not all cotttages are accessible all year round, you have to choose carefully as some are inaccessible over winter. I want an all year round one that I can visit regularly and commune with nature. . . and bears, but not too closely.
